Summer Yard

Planting and digging in the yard has been a daily joy. When we moved in our house 5 years ago, the yard had no charm. The property had been where the barn was for the farmhouse below. I needed some landscape help and had some professional help in planning and planting.  So glad we did that.

I wanted the privacy with trees but the charm of a cutting garden. We picked our favorites and went from there. With the plantings in place it was up to us to keep it going.  

 

Our weeping plum tree starts out sparse and by summer turns out full. 

 

This vintage cage is perfection as a stand alone our full with cucumbers 

I love working under the trees. It is my patch of a secret garden. I can escape the worries of the unrest or pray regarding the events around us. 

My favorite time is the foggy, hazy start of the day. I love the promise of a new day. 

The plants do require me to come out and ground myself

This is an area I am developing this season. I moved some of the metal I found at a garage sale. The chair was $5 and the metal art was $12. I was thrilled to find those at an artist house that was moving. No one had looked outside!!
